Just a little FYI to all those complaining about the people calling this Irish music: This is a cover of an old Irish song from the 1850's. . . The band playing it being Irish-American rather than native Irish does not in any way make the music less so.
@ringwraith18 what is american? america was built off of immigration. "american" isn't really a specific cultural adjective. the song is an old tune that was written in Ireland dude. everything "american" has influence somewhere else.
I know everyone loves dkm now, but they sounded so much better with Mike on vocals. I'd still rather see the current incarnation than 95% of the other shit that's out there though.
I aint even irish, but i live on south side of chicago, and my birthday is saint patrick's day. they remind me of my birthday and all my friends who are away at college.
i'm 21 years old and i even think this is kind of disgraceful... if his voice was better and he wasn't yelling i might like this bands version... i'm also pretty sure they didn't know the lyrics... and i'm pretty sure with that sound there is no way in hell they could catch timothy coming back to life after whiskey fell on him... i would almost call it the punch line of the song? anyway cool they covered it... but terrible execution
ive seen them every st pattys day from 98 till 08 and got to catch them with the mighty mighty bosstones whom are way cooler but for some reason didnt headline which sucked
I like these guy's spirit and vigour - they obviously love the old Irish stuff and just want to blend it with the nu-metal/punk sound. Not really my scene, but f*ck it - they're great craic and it keeps these songs alive just like The Pogues did in the 1980s. Fair f*cks to the Dropkicks, but for my money the Pogues are better!! (It's a generation thing).
I named my king charles cavalier, Finnigan and my english mastiff is named Murphy. Finnigan and Murphy, sounds like an Irish Pub, lol! My revenge on the English and to honor Finnigan's wake and Dropkick Murphy, one of my fav bands.

you guys are retarded they ruined a song thats actually hard to play and has be played the same for more then a hundred years it takes no skill to play the simple cords bull shit why don't u look up the mandolin version or any original verson of this song and tell me if it sounds anything like this
so wat u clowns lol... all there songs are irish... form Ireland... with Irish sounds. So it does what it say on the tin... hence all the shamrocks.... they aint chinese lol
these douche bags just ruined a song that been played for over a hundred years it sounds nothing like the actual finnegans wake on mandolin or anything else
All i can add to this conversation. Go to the bands concert and try to voice your opinions to the fans there. No use to crying here about how DKM sucks or crap like that. Especially to you, ianstuart30, who can't even invent an original nick...
I don't understand why there's so many bitchin about what the best version is. Truth is without this a lot of non Irish like myself would never have know the song same for the fields of Athenry
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
your completely fuckin right i hope you know that and the faggots who think that this pumped up version of an amazing song is good, should really loosen up and listen to the real version
Lame. These guys suck. You can't even hear what they're fucking playing. You can "harden" traditional Irish songs but you can go too far, as these no-talent bums have done. They suck big time. Irish college boys who date Jews listen to these poseurs.
